Saints planned to interview Mike McCarthy; McCarthy didn’t garner enough interest from Saints and will take a year off

That was my initial sense too. I can’t say I’m in love with any of the 3 apparent front runners—McCarthy, Glenn, and Brady. I don’t think Glenn’s defenses in Detroit have been that great, McCarthy w/o prime Aaron Rogers is just a good (not great) coach, and Brady outside of his X’s and O’s is an unknown. I am starting to sour on Glenn a bit, but the Jets may be about to hire him anyway, so he may not end up being a real option for the Saints.

That's the thing with McCarthy. You get good, not great, but you have a high floor. With someone else, you have a chance at great. But the odds are that it will be more like DA. That's why there's a high turnover on HCs in the NFL, because most HCs in the NFL fail.

But I think McCarthy + Loomis > McCarthy + Jerry.
